An Outrage.
On Thursday night Of last week some das-
tardly and eouscienceless miscreast visited the
stable of Mrs Edward L. Smoot, at La Plata,
and 10 a spirit of wnnton mischievousnes. cut
every particle of hair from the tai and name of
her horse kept there, leaving the animal great
ly dis6gsred by the dastardly act. Ii this was
done in spirit Of fun we sincerely hope that
the would be wit who conceived and carried it
ost will be caught and made BY Law to feel that
even fun has a limit beyond which it cannot be
carried with safety. lfil was done With . will
tul spirit We think the law abiding and honest
citizens of La Plata, and the La officers Of our
county, shoald relax no effort until the cow
ardly msereant. who would be guilty of such
4 daetardly outrage on an unprotected widow
lady, is made to feel that the hand Of the law
is far reaching, and he should be diligently
hunted out and made to suffer some severe
penalty for this outrageous conduct. We have
no sympathy for the so~ardly wretch who
would be guilty Of ssch an action when he,
perhaps. knew the party aggrieved had not the
ability to protect herself.
